CLAME - A house for S. and N.
![]()
In our latest rowhouse renovation project, we aimed to create a sense of spaciousness and openness. By introducing a new angle in the layout, we created a new dynamic that enhanced the spatiality of the house.
A significant focus was placed on the back façade, which features an expansive window spanning the entire width of the house. This large window, with a central sliding door, fosters a strong connection with the garden below and can act as a balcony when opened.

A spiral staircase connects the main dining area, which includes the kitchen, to a versatile TV room and playroom for the children located downstairs. This staircase serves as a sculptural element, adding visual interest while offering practical access between levels. A skylight further accentuates the staircase, allowing natural light to cascade down. The curved wall behind the stairs is interrupted by a perforated steel window, providing the adjacent toilet with a glimpse of daylight.
